PC: static time_t tTimer; static struct tm ptm; time(&tTimer); ptm = localtime(&tTimer); tm structure is here PLC:* read the clock with the SFC1 "READ_CLK"to some DB and then define it as external tag in WinCC. It consists of 8 bytes so you can define it as a few tags or one tag raw data type. Regards Sydney
